Race2Recovery

For eight months Gaucho Productions was embedded with the Race2Recovery team of injured British and American servicemen as they bid to become the first amputees ever to complete the infamous Dakar Rally.

We followed their extraordinary journey for two TV documentaries:

The first, Race2Recovery: The Road to Dakar, focused on the birth of the team and their preparation for the rally and was shown on Eurosport in the UK and Asia-Pacific.

In the second series (shown on ITV4), The Dakar: Frontline to Finish Line, we followed the team through South America as they became the first amputee team ever to complete the Dakar Rally.

In addition Gaucho Productions delivered news directly from the rally to a global audience – through a series of blogs and feature reports in media including The Sunday Times, The Independent, MSN and Octane.

The Dakar: Frontline to Finish Line will also be on Discovery World this winter.
